A preserved PDF capture of Nikki Craft's 1999 webpage and feminist action challenging 3Com and Palm Computing's 'Simply Palm' advertising campaign. The document includes Craft's public letter to 3Com marketing director Liz Brooking, her criticism of the use of a nude woman in a bowed and compressed pose to sell the Palm V, references to 3Com's legal threats against online parody, links and notices circulated during the controversy, and 3Com's reply defending the campaign. The surviving PDF contains two pages, although its printed footer identifies them as pages 1 of 3 and 2 of 3; page 2 ends during 3Com's response. It is therefore preserved exactly as found and may be incomplete. The original webpage remains online at No Status Quo for archival purposes and should be consulted for the fullest surviving text. The companion ACTIONSPORN3COM-00 overview supplies historical, media, and interpretive context. Part of the Nikki Craft Archival Project.
